An accidentally altered book by artist Ailie Rutherford.

Ailie had been teaching herself to draw in a hypnagogic state, keeping a notebook beside her pillow. After falling asleep while reading Sigmund Freud’s On Dreams, in a semi-awake state, the artist picked up her pencil and notebook to sketch, discovering later that she’d drawn on Freud’s book instead. She began to use the book as a diary, drawing onto the pages each day.

Ailie is based at The Royal Standard studios, Liverpool, and specialises in drawing machines, artist books and telepathic drawing experiments…
